Republican Governor Says Trump Made 'Mistake' On Coronavirus | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

[GeorgeMinton-jbky]

I love how Republicans always say we are all in this together until it is time to lie, cheat and steal again and then we aren't. I do agree we are all in this with COVID - 19 but we still need to remember that they gave the largest tax break in history of the U.S. to the top 1/10th of 1% of income earners who are the exact people who need to pay the same or more than their secretary as a percentage of income as we do. It is not fair when those that make the most pay the least in taxes especially in times like these when they need to step up and pay up to help cushion the fall in the economy in which they tend to benefit the most when it is good.

The big mistake is Trump slashed CDC budget causing CDC manpower shortage to identify coronavirus spreading occurred around 2019 Sept in US. Had the funding not being slash, CDC should be able to identify the spreading, the whole mess would have been avoided.

It has to be said - not a single republican was taking this seriously until the stock market crashed. So the GOP can kindly shut up in their “let’s not finger point” BS.

Was hoping that when trump said it would go away he was talking about himself....

Trump's self assessment: "10 out of 10". If you can't recognise your mistakes, you can't be more effective.

[mloftus]

as President, if you have to tell people that you did a very good job on something, then you are inherently not doing a good job, otherwise, you would not need to remind them. But his gargantuan narcissistic disease is in a league of its own, and he has to “remind” us seemingly every day, just how great he is at everything he does.

[jessossenkopp]

The most bipartisan yet realistic statement that can be made is:

You can love Trump. You can hate Trump. Either way— he was wrong on his claims regarding covid19. I’m glad he has shifted his tone but him saying he “always knew it was a pandemic” is silly and ridiculous.

China may be to blame for the delayed warning, but every government that failed to respond quickly after the warning was given is responsible for what is happening within their own borders now.

[Nizzey]

So don't hold the people in charge accountable during a time of crisis? yeah that makes sense

[SATedeschi]

What Trump could have done better and was a mistake is a complete understatement.Trump worst president in American history. God help us.
The time to judge the trump is November 2020

[geewiizi]

Trump's whole administration has based on fingerpointing

[damarcusmomm]

Trump trying to give checks to buy the election 🤦🏽‍♀️

[MAI]

I get so angry about these people protecting trump when trump has been our biggest problem, what is the matter with them. My brain is just so tired of all this crap, they aren’t going to fix anything. trump you just really need to get out of our presidents chair so we can get a real president back in it again!

[jamesricker]

He may be tried for heresy at the next Republican national convention

"I take no responsibility." Dingbongald the Presidunce. 2020.

[williamengel]

The only ones who weren't taking this PANDEMIC serious are the Republicans and trump!😠

[donfrommpls]

Mr. "not my fault" will soon be Mr. "not the president".

[DavidJ]

Less than two weeks ago, these were Trump's reassuring words of leadership about the coronavirus:

"We have done an incredible job. We're going to continue. It's going to disappear. One day it's like a miracle, it will disappear. And from our shores, you know, it could get worse before it gets better. Could maybe go away. We'll see what happens. Nobody really knows." 😲

[DanTaninecz]

Hogan would want to talk about who is to blame with a Democratic POTUS. What Trump did was unforgivable and criminal.

[vincef]

2:50 "If the citizens don't pay attention ...".
Well, the citizens WERE paying attention ...when trump DOWNPLAYED the seriousness of the situation in order to "keep his NUMBERS low"!
